The Cappuccino Freddo is a Greek-style iced coffee that’s both refreshing and luxurious.
It combines strong espresso, ice, and cold frothed milk, creating a smooth, creamy texture with bold coffee flavor.

Perfect for hot days, this drink has become a modern classic in Mediterranean café culture — elegant, energizing, and irresistibly cool.


🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 2 shots (60 ml) espresso
  • 4–5 ice cubes
  • 100 ml cold milk (whole milk or plant-based alternative)
  • Optional: sugar to taste

🛠️ Equipment

  • Espresso machine or moka pot
  • Electric milk frother or hand frother
  • Shaker or tall glass
  • Spoon for mixing

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Process

1. Brew the Espresso

Prepare two shots of espresso and let them cool for about one minute.
This helps prevent the ice from melting too quickly when you pour it in.

2. Sweeten (Optional)

If you prefer your coffee sweet, stir the sugar into the hot espresso before it cools.
This allows it to dissolve fully and blend evenly.

3. Prepare the Ice Base

Add 4–5 ice cubes to a tall glass or shaker.
Pour the espresso over the ice and shake or stir well until chilled.

4. Froth the Milk

Using a cold milk frother, whip the milk until it becomes thick and creamy, with a fine, glossy foam.
The milk should stay cold and form a soft texture — not stiff like hot cappuccino foam.

5. Assemble the Drink

Pour the iced espresso into a tall serving glass.
Then, gently spoon or pour the cold milk foam on top, creating a distinct two-layer look — dark coffee at the bottom, white creamy foam on top.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.
Stir lightly before drinking to blend the layers, or enjoy as is for a contrast of flavors and textures.


💡 Tips for the Perfect Cappuccino Freddo

  • Use freshly brewed espresso and chill it quickly for the best flavor.
  • Always use cold milk straight from the fridge — it froths better.
  • Whole milk makes the richest foam, but oat milk or almond milk work great too.
  • For extra smoothness, use ice made from filtered water.
  • You can sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top for aroma and presentation.

❤️ Why You’ll Love Cappuccino Freddo
